	The problem with common suffix quizzes like this is that there are so many synonyms that fit the bill. For instance, the fire one can be "conflagration." The Christ one can be "execution," "crucifixion," or possibly "tribulation." And the first slot appears to be the column headings put into the wrong place (although the answer still fits, ironically).

	Thanks for the feedback. I changed the Christ one. The definition I found on dictionary.com for "conflagration" states it is a "large, destructive fire", which isn't quite the same as the act of burning, nor violent excitement. So I don't think it fits the description, but if you can link to a definition that proves otherwise, I'll include it as a possible answer. Most of the other words aren't a verb turned into a noun as per the common use of the suffix. The first one was intended to be like that, but I changed it a bit anyway.

	I thought explosion should work for that one (I tried that and conflagration and then gave up).

	Accept "apparition" as an alternative to carrion?
